I was ‘losing my mind’ waiting for race to start, says Keely Hodgkinson
Keely Hodgkinson admits she was fed up waiting to start her World Championships campaign.
The 20-year-old, who won Olympic silver last year, eased into the 800m semi-final in two minutes 00.88 seconds at Hayward Field on Thursday.
She avoided trouble when Australia’s Catriona Bissett – who was eventually advanced to the semi by the judges – was tripped and fell in the final 100m and will race again in Eugene on Friday.
Onto the semis
